Mark grew up on a dairy farm in Bakersfield , CA. Assisted families buying foreclosure real estate in the early 90’s. He also opened 30+ restaurant for Chevys Fresh Mex. He has been a Financial Planner for 23 years at Ameriprise Financial Services, LLC. I enjoy working in my back yard in El Sobrante, CA. Growing your own food is an amazing experience.
